What is the Monterey County Health Departments Emergency Plan?
Our county’s emergency operations plan includes specific response to bioterrorism. As with any emergency, a coordinated response will be conducted with fire, police, health care providers and other public agencies. In the case of bioterrorism, the plan addresses detection, surveillance, laboratory analysis, emergency response, treatment, and communication with the public. Also the Public Health Department is instructing our county’s physicians to report any suspicious illness immediately.
